Amazing experience and I would not hesitate to go back for future framing needs! Everything from cost to service and quality was top notch. The owner has excellent taste and was able to recommend the perfect frame + material to complement our art piece. Can't say enough good things about the owner and the shop!
Kenny Pate
Wonderful experience. They took one look at the painting and suggested a modern framing style using mid-priced materials that would be appropriate for the style and not break the bank. The results were excellent — stylish, well-constructed, and on-time. Much thanks!

This shop is beautifully curated and their frames truly are a work of art in themselves. The owner has an incredible eye for design and a background in engineering, which result in the most unique framing work I've ever come across. I no longer live in the area, but still send my most special art to be framed by them when I can.

Charming shop with great service 😀 The owner worked with me to design a sweet little watercolor I had bought in Tahoe, which totally transformed after the framing was done. I definitely recommend!

This shop is a great find if you're looking for one of a kind artwork (I haven’t gotten anything framed yet but now I know where to go!). I was recently on the peninsula and happened to walk by this shop. The owner was so friendly and helpful - he thoughtfully answered my questions and gave me the space to browse without feeling any pressure. I ended up buying a gorgeous ceramic mosaic that he had hand selected in Turkey. I will definitely be recommending this place to others and I’ll be coming back whenever I need something framed.

Amazing service! The owner is super knowledgeable and you can tell that he’s very passionate about art. I recently brought in a large piece to be framed and was a little worried because the artwork had been previously damaged. Not only did the owner recommend an amazing restorer in Oakland but he offered to bring the art to the restorer for me! I never expected that level of service. The final product (restoration + framing) was very professionally done and I am so happy with the quality of workmanship.
